Are you high?
Here is another way to do it. If YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS METHOD TELL ME ILL HELP THE BEST I CAN THIS SHOULD WORK. I HAVE TESTED ON MULTIPLE CONSOLES. put your real hdd in the system and go into the system restore menu (hold power until turns on and off, then hold again until two beeps) then have nothing else in your console usb wise and then go to system update and press start and select then change your hdd and let it go for a couple of seconds.. then shut the system off and turn it on again with the new hdd still in it and the hdd will work!!
hdd seagate - toshiba now
firmware 3.41 - 3.55 now
60gb - 500 gb now [/COLOR]
AND UR DONE

I've tried this like a million times, so to say. But I still can't get it to work. The message "You need to format blablabla" comes up every time.
Idk man. When I press START and SELECT It searches for the firmware too fast for me to switch HDD. Are you sure im not supposed to have a memory stick with a update in? Which makes it search for a little longer.
Additional details
40 GB PS3
And I wanna swap it with my 60GB HDD.

I thought the firmware were stored on the nand chip?
But atleast a part of it must be on the HDD. I guess that's obviously.
